LMAO!! That seems to be a trait about quite a few of the Spanish pistols, heavy and built like tanks. Like the Firestars. Heavy for size but comforting.
And how long have you had the Astra? Sounds like your lamenting having it for so long and not shooting it.

Wow, I really like your the Astra 400 9mm Largo with holster and mag pic, its really nice, and I especially like your Star B 9mm I have always wanted a Star B second model with the curved backstrap. My favorite all time 9mm and i have never found one is a Colt 70 series Combat Commander in 9mm, for me one has been hard to find.

You have had a cool gun like that for 8+ years and never shot it???!!!!!
I would have gone crazy after a month having not shot a new toy, unless it was the type of collectable that should NOT be shot.
Ok, then answer this, how does it feel in the hand?

And by the way Gents, here is a great grip resource for Astra, Llama and Star grips. I have done business with him and he does great work and his prices are very reaonable. In fact the Gaboon Ebony grips on my Firestar .45 are by him. I strongly recommend him.

Curly I kinda thought it might feel that way from the grip angle and the design. Interesting design.
Papa, his grips are very well done, I will attest to that as I have purchased 6 sets from him over time and liked them all. And your right about his prices, surprisingly low.

Hey guys, recently got hold of some Peach wood that looked pretty nice so I decided to see how grips for my Star BM would look. And here they are. Unfortunately the wood was not quite dry enough yet and I am fighting some warping and a small crack but I like the way they look. Papabear if your out there, what do ya think?
